Setup Guide
- Check Compatibility: Ensure your smartphone is an Android device running version 9.0 or later with a USB-C port, or an iPhone 15 series device. The phone's length must be between 95mm and 175mm, and its thickness no more than 1cm. Remove any phone cases that might prevent proper seating or connection.
- Insert Smartphone: Gently extend the controller's left and right sides. Align your smartphone's USB-C port with the controller's USB-C connector on the right side. Carefully push the phone into the connector until it is securely seated. The controller will automatically grip the phone.
- Initial Connection: Once connected, your smartphone should recognize the controller automatically. No additional drivers are typically required.
- Power: The controller draws power directly from your smartphone via the USB-C connection. It does not require separate charging.
- Passthrough Charging: The controller features a USB-C passthrough port. To charge your phone while gaming, connect a USB-C charging cable to the port on the controller.
